‘Forman is a school that serves students with learning differences, but also explicitly teaches them how their brains actually work and learn. That’s been a passion of mine for over 20 years now’
In honor of National Girls & Women in Sports Day, the Neag School was excited to speak with Sport Management Program alums Kaitlyn Chen ’25 MS, Carli Cutler ’20 (ED), and Ajhanai “AJ” Keaton ’21 Ph.D. All have different careers in sport — on the court, on the sidelines, and in academia — and emphasize the importance of celebrating all women athletes, coaches, and leaders and promoting efforts to make the sport industry equitable across genders.
“For so long, women in sport have been behind the men,” Chen says. “Amazing female athletes have never received the same attention, recognition, and respect they deserve. NGWSD shows the next generation what they can be capable of.”
“As sport opportunities for girls and women continue to increase, I am really excited (and jealous) of the emerging sports girls have access to, like Flag Football,” Keaton says. “As opportunity increases, I hope and want others to be conscious of how women leaders are a part of the process, as coaches, administrators, agents, and fans.”
“We have come so far from the days when I would watch SportsCenter in the morning as a child and be so upset that they did not have coverage on women’s sports,” Cutler says. “The work is never done, but the knowledge of where we have come from is powerful.”

Over winter break, Lauren Midgette, assistant clinical professor in the Neag School of Education, co-hosted a Winter Break Book Club with the Neag School’s Leadership in Diversity (LID) student group at UConn Storrs.
The conversation brought together current students from the Integrated Bachelor`s/Master`s Teacher Education Program (IB/M) and the Teacher Certification Program for College Graduates (TCPCG), along with alumni and teacher education faculty, to engage with "We Want to Do More Than Survive" (Beacon Press, 2019) by Bettina Love.
Participants also learned from guest speaker Satoria Ray, a Ph.D. student at Teachers College, Columbia University, who works closely with Love, deepening the dialogue around abolitionist teaching and educational justice.
